Intertextuality and its Aesthetics in Al-Wahrani's Great Dream
Main Article Content
Abstract
Al-Wahrani's Great Dream, a literary creation by Rukn al-Din Ibn Muhriz al-Wahrani (1179 CE/575 AH), introduced dreams as a literary genre. This research explores and investigates the present and absent texts within the dream, revealing the systems invoked within it. These systems include religious aspects under the guise of religious figures, social aspects under the realm of gender culture, referring to the culture of concubines and young boys, and political aspects under the dominance of rulers and jurists. In addition, literary aspects will be studied, including the craft of literature and the subtleties of language and literature during this period.
The research methodology relies on description and analysis to approach intertextuality. The dream opens up interpretations and readings that shed light on the illusions of society during the Ayyubid dynasty.
